Condo was the very best of everything

It is rare to find something as good as is promised. The condo was perfect with wonderful views of the beach, pools and from the front door Destin. Everything was clean and extremely well stocked. You do not need to bring anything kitchen related when you stay here. The location was also great with restaurants, bars, gift shops and putt-putt all within a very short walk. I was extremely happy with my choice and stay in Destin.

It was all a dream…

We had a wonderful stay. The condo was very clean, had all the amenities that we needed. Plenty of towels, beach gear etc. We needed a early check in because we flew in on a red eye and the owner was very kind and flexible. The resort is so awesome. It has everything you need on the property. Check in was easy, plenty of luggage carts to assist with baggage. There’s a cafe and tiki bar on the property. The beautiful beach is breathtaking. I would absolutely come back to Destin and rent this unit again. Thank you!

We had a great time staying at the Pelican Beach Resort. The room was just as described and comfortable for our family of 6. Everything was thought about for items you would use during your stay. The check-in process was so easy. We loved the view of the beach and sitting out on the balcony in the evenings. Definitely will be back again!

Our overall experience with the room, host, and kitchen area was marvelous. The beach view from the room was spectacular. We truly enjoyed our experience. Highly recommended. The only constructive feedback I have is, being a tv junkie, there were too many issues with the cable networks. Lost a lot of television time due to issues beyond our control. The overall experience as stated before was beyond expectations.
